  2. Barrier nursing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_nursing

    Barrier nursing is a set of stringent infection control techniques used in nursing. The aim of barrier nursing is to protect medical staff against infection by patients and also protect patients with highly infectious diseases from spreading their pathogens to other non-infected people. Barrier nursing was created as a means to maximize ...

  3. Polar aprotic solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_aprotic_solvent

    A polar aprotic solvent is a solvent that lacks an acidic proton and is polar. Such solvents lack hydroxyl and amine groups. In contrast to protic solvents, these solvents do not serve as proton donors in hydrogen bonding, although they can be proton acceptors. Many solvents, including chlorocarbons and hydrocarbons, are classifiable as aprotic ...

  4. Solvent effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_effects

    This arises from the fact that polar solvents stabilize the formation of the carbocation intermediate to a greater extent than the non-polar-solvent conditions. This is apparent in the ΔE a, ΔΔG ‡ activation. On the right is an S N 2 reaction coordinate diagram. Note the decreased ΔG ‡ activation for the non-polar-solvent reaction ...

  5. Solvation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvation

    Polar solvents are often found to have a high dielectric constant, although other solvent scales are also used to classify solvent polarity. Polar solvents can be used to dissolve inorganic or ionic compounds such as salts. The conductivity of a solution depends on the solvation of its ions. Nonpolar solvents cannot solvate ions, and ions will ...

  6. Liquid–liquid extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid–liquid_extraction

    A separatory funnel used for liquid–liquid extraction, as evident by the two immiscible liquids.. Liquid–liquid extraction, also known as solvent extraction and partitioning, is a method to separate compounds or metal complexes, based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids, usually water (polar) and an organic solvent (non-polar).

  7. Tetrahydrofuran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrofuran

    The other main application of THF is as an industrial solvent for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in varnishes. [8] It is an aprotic solvent with a dielectric constant of 7.6. It is a moderately polar solvent and can dissolve a wide range of nonpolar and polar chemical compounds. [15]

  8. Polyvinylpyrrolidone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylpyrrolidone

    PVP is soluble in water and other polar solvents. For example, it is soluble in various alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, [29] as well as in more exotic solvents like the deep eutectic solvent formed by choline chloride and urea (Relin). [30] When dry it is a light flaky hygroscopic powder, readily absorbing up to 40% of its weight in ...

  9. Emulsion stabilization using polyelectrolytes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_stabilization...

    The two main types of emulsions are oil-in-water (nonpolar in polar) and water-in-oil (polar in nonpolar). The difference depends upon the nature of the surfactant or polyelectrolyte in question. The hydrophilic pieces will attract the polar solvent, creating a water-in-oil emulsion and the hydrophobic pieces will attract the nonpolar solvent ...
